If you missed the BIG announcement on Kramp and Adler’s show this morning, Milwaukee is getting it’s own alt rock festival this summer! Bob Babisch and John Boler from Summerfest joined Kramp and Adler to break the news. I let them in the front door and got them coffee. They both drink their coffee black.

Here are the important details:

Who: FM 102/1 and Summerfest

What: Creating a summer music festival with name TBA with “alternative” and “modern rock” bands to be announced March 10, 2010.

Where: Summerfest grounds, 200 N. Harbor Drive, Milwaukee

When: Friday, June 4 and Saturday, June 5, 2010

Why: Because this needed to happen.

This festival without a name needs a name. That’s where YOU come in. Got mad design skillz? Have a catchy name for this festival? Submit your ideas. The public will help name this festival after finalists are announced. For information on how to submit your ideas, tickets, etc, visit http://www.yourmusicfest.com. Webmaster Chris M. is doing a nice job with the site.

Here are some other links with some info on the super cool new fest and the official press release.

Weezer week is over, unfortunately, but here is a picture (courtesy of Weezer.com) of the Kramp and Adler Sing on Stage with Weezer contest winner singing on stage at Thursday night’s show at the Rave/Eagles Ballroom. He’s Germantown’s own Mike Wagner!

Jack’s Mannequin played a 40 minute set before the Weez. Set list included “Bruised,” “La La Lie,” “Kill The Messenger,” “The Mix Tape,” “Spinning,” “The Last Straw,” “Dark Blue,” and “Bloodshot.” I missed MCS unfortuantely. If you didn’t pick up a Weezer snuggie at the merch table after the show, they are available at www.weezer.com.

Jared Leto by Stephen Kallao
Jared Leto has an album he’s been forced to delay for over a year. That delay is over with the release of This Is War, due out December 10. Kramp and Adler speak to Jared about the new album, it’s 2,000 covers and of course, Kayne West. Audio after the jump!

An epic interview with the drummer for the Chili Peppers and Chickenfoot (not to mention his own solo project) He’s witty, engaging, and generous with his time. Hear the whole interview (including a shout out to Dan Cortez, Kanye West, and Chad’s brother) here.
